XML is the George W. Bush of formats.
It was never good, we just have a sort of nostalgy for it after seeing lots of other nasty stuff.
@szbalint but was it really *bad*
let's say we make a standard xml subset, what's bad in it?
@CobaltVelvet I could get behind that, most of what’s wrong with xml and yaml is that the standards are too big and complex. Cut like 80% of the spec and keep the basic parts, that would work. No WSDL and shit like that.
